… know that I am God

 “Be still and know that I am God!”


According to ChatGPT, ‘the Hebrew wording of "I am God" in Psalm 46:10 is "אָנֹכִי אֱלֹהִים" (anokhi Elohim). Despite "Elohim" being a plural form, it is used in a singular sense when referring to the God of Israel. The grammatical context, including the singular pronoun "anokhi" (I), clearly indicates a singular individual. This usage reflects the Hebrew understanding of God as one singular being, reinforcing the monotheistic nature of the statement.’


No Nicene Trinity is found here. No ”God as three in one”, is found here. 

The Father is a singular individual. It is the Father who here is saying we must all know that He is God. 


ChatGPT also admits: “There is a legitimate concern that some may treat the Nicene Creed as if it were on the same level as canonical scripture, potentially prioritizing it over direct biblical texts. The Nicene Creed, established at the First Council of Nicaea in 325 AD, is a pivotal document that articulates foundational Christian doctrines, particularly the nature of the Trinity and the divinity of Christ. It functions as a concise summary of essential Christian beliefs and holds a place of significant respect across various Christian denominations. However, it is crucial to recognize that the Creed is not scripture but a human-crafted statement derived from the early Church Fathers' interpretation of the Bible. While it provides a valuable and authoritative framework for understanding key theological concepts, it should be considered subordinate to the Bible. The primary danger lies in allowing such creedal formulations to overshadow the primacy of scripture, potentially leading to a reliance on human interpretations over the direct teachings of the Bible. Christians are encouraged to consistently return to the Bible as the ultimate authority, using creeds like the Nicene Creed to aid in the interpretation and summarization of biblical teachings but not to replace or supplant them. A balanced approach to theology involves honoring creeds as significant guides to understanding Christian doctrine while ensuring that beliefs and practices are firmly rooted in the direct study and application of scripture.” (ChatGPT, 2024)
